PLAYS OF LONG AGO REVIVED
PROVING POPULAR IN GOTHAM
"Alias Jimmy Valentine" Among: Number Brought Back and Staged
Again With Success; "Chocolate Soldier" Better Than Ever.

BY ELIZABETH LONERGAX.
NEW YORK, Dec 31. (Special.)
Two -of the three recent new
plays were old plays. This
sounds like a "bull" until one adds
that the "old" ones were revivals.
Revivals seem stylish this season and
very day one hears of some new
coming production that was "old"
long ago.
"Alias Jimmy Valentine" was
brought back to town with Otto Kru
ger in the role of the fascinating
crook. This part originally was
played by H. B. Warner, who Is due
In town In a few weeks In a new
play which Carle Carleton will pre
sent. "Alias Jimmy Valentine" was
first produced In 1909. One of the
metropolitan critics mentioned the
name of Laurette Taylor as the first
heroine, with Frank Monroe as the
detective. These two parts are played
In the 1921 edition by Margola Gll
more, the talented daughter of Frank
Glimore, and Eramelt Corrigan, who
was last seen in Portland In "Three
Faces East." Other western favor
ites in the cast are Grace Henderson,
Mary Boland, William Ingersol, Earl
Brown, George Farren and Hacold
Uartsell.
And then there was "The Chocolate
Soldlex," bigger and better than ever.
The Shuberts presented It at the Cen
tury theater with a notable cast
headed by Donald Brian and Tessa
Kosia. The music or the Strauss
operetta is familiar to every one.
The story of the jlay is based upon
G. Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the
Man" and was first produced at the
Lyric theater in September. 1909. It
has been sung all over the world and
Is one of the best -known of modern
operettas. The Shuberts have given
It a sumptuous revival. The orches
tra Is composed of more than 60 mu
sicians, the chorus numbers 75 and,
U addition, there Is a long list of
principals. The music Is beautiful.
Clare Kummer, who started her ca
reer as a song writer and later be
came a playwright, is the author of
"The Mountain Man," which opened
at the Maxine Elliott. Among the
well-known players are Sidney Black
in er, Catherine Dale, Lucia Moore,
Marlon Abbott, George Fawcett and
Lawrence Eddinger. Marjorie Kum
mer, daughter of the author, has the
leading role.
It will De recalled that Miss Kum
mer made her debut last season in
her mother's play, "Hollo's Wild
Oats," which had a long engagement
at the Punch and Judy. The play Is
a human little love story with Sidney
Blackmer as the mountain hero and
Marjorie Kummer as his sweetheart
In the course of the action, Mr.
Blackmer sings two of Clare Kum.
mer's songs, "Cut Down the Trees"
and "Through All the. World."
During the second act of "The Wild
Cat," the new Spanish opera that re
cently arrived In New York, there Is
an interval between scenes. The
composer, Manuel Penella. who staged
the production and directed the mu
sic, wrote an intermezzo for this wait
which Is descriptive of the crowds on
their way to a bull fight. One hears
the noise of the hurrying throngs,
the sounds of the arena and finally
the confusion of the fight Itself.
During the Intermezzo a curtain

representing a Spanish ehawl Is low
ered. This unique curtain has an un
usual history. It is an exact repre
rentatlon of a Spanish manton of
Manila and was made for Mr. Pe
nella at King Alphonse's royal tap
estry works In Madrid with his maj
esty's permission and under the per
sonal supervision of the director of
the works.
The producing managers have
taken up the speculator evil. It has
come to be impossible to obtain tick
ets at the regular offices for special
performances. The speculators have
in some way got the good seats and
If one wishes to attend a holiday
matinee or evening show it Is nec
essary to pay a large bonus for a
ticket. The managers have discussed
the matter several times and It is
predicted that their next move will
be to establish a central office where
tickets at box office priceamay be
obtained for any and all theaters.
The speculators' practices have be
come insufferable this season and
there are many who attribute the
poor theatrical attendance to them
because people will hot pay the ad
vanced prices and are tired of try
ing In vain to get the tickete they
desire.
Theatrical people gathered at the
Blltmore last- Sunday night to pay
tribute to the greatest of all pro
ducers, David Belasco. The west is
particularly interested because Mr
Belasco hails from San Francisco and,
like all true coast folks, is loyal to
the west. The event was under the
auspices of the Society of Arts and
Sciences and took places In the ball
room of the Blltmore, with Otis Skin
ner as toastmaster and nearly 1000
guests representing every walk of
life. It was a grat and fitting trib
ute to his genius and, by a fortunate
circumstance, all his companies hap
pened to be near New York and were
able to take part In the demonstra
tion. Mr. Belasco's actors are al
ways his best "boosters," which
means a lot to those who Know atge
people well.
Norman Trevor made his bow to
the American public as an actor
manager with his production of "The
Married Woman" under the direction
of the Selwyns, at the Princess the
hter Saturday night, December 24.
"The Married Woman," by Chester
Bailey Fernald, tells an eminently
human story of universal appeal, and
It affords Mr. Trevor, as Its star, the
biggest acting opportunity of his
brilliant career.

WHEN the expert shoe salesman

to before foot anatomy became such

TUB FORBlbaiNG RING. '
T"EFORE Kenneth Brooks had at
Jj talned to the dignity of his first
knickerbockers he bad claimed Marie
Johnston as his sweetheart. The lady
of his choice, secure In the power of
her golden curls and brown'eyes, was
a bit of a flirt ever- In hej- pinafore
days. But she accepted Kenneth's de
votlon all through their school days
and even gloried in bis air of Jealous
ownership.
Of course, there had always been
an understanding that they were to
marry each other sometime, but the
year Kenneth was a senior In high
school and Marie a sophomore they
became definitely engaged. She prom
ised to marry him in June of the year
he was graduated from college.
With Kenneth in a southern univer
sity and Marie studying music in a
northern city, absence seemed only
to fan the flame of their devotion.
Then Marie visited a childhood friend.
One Shelton Curtis saw her there, and
even before he met his neighbor's
guest he was in love. That evening
at an informal dance he made it clear
that if any other man got a word with
her it would be no fault of his.
Kenneth was hurt and bewildered.
Why should Marie return his ring,
and then insist she was not getting
her release to marry another man.
A year later when Marie visited her
friend again, absence of that forbid
ding ring left Shelton free to tell her
how he had loved her from the day
he had first seen her. Then she told
him she had broken her engagement
Immediately after she had returned
home. A week later they were mar

AID PLAN COMPREHENSIVE
Butte Mining Companies Support
Community Chest.
BUTTE, Mont. Mining companies
near here hate co-operated with the
citizens of Butte In supporting the
"community chest," a relief fund con
ducted this winter under the auspices
of the Btjtte Relief association. The
mining covnpanles contribute I1.C0 for
every dollar donated by Independent
citizens.
According to the report of the ad
ministration Committee, supplies to
the value of J28.8S6.28 were distributed
during the month of-November. The
December distribution, it was esti
mated, will exceed J60.000.
With the general suspension of min
ing activities on March 31. 1921, it be
came apparent to Butte citizens that
a systematic relief plan would oe
required to prevent suffering later in
the year. The Butte Relief association
was then Incorporated and a survey
made of local conditions. Few requests
for aid were received before the ar
rival of cold weather late in the fall.
A comprehensive plan was devised
to care for the distribution of supplies
and for the investigation of requests
for assistance. According to the re
port, every dollar raised is expended
for relief purposes, not a dollar bciiTs
used for administration or distribu
tion costs. The Anaconda Copper Min
ing company employs a large staff,
at Its own expense, to distribute the
supplies. This staff is augmented by
volunteers.
Although- vigilant, the administra
tive committee reports that it has
preferred to extend relief to many
doubtful cases rather than take any
chances with denying relief to needed
ones.
When the November report was
made up, the association had cared for
2100 cases. It was estimated that by
the end of this month approximately
1700 cases would be on the books.
FRENCH OPPOSE REFUND
Americans Gain Little in Matter of
- Luxury Tax.
PARIS. Several French newspapers
are protesting against what they term
"the misplaced generosity" of the
government In refunding to Vmer
lcans when they return to the 'inited
States th 10 per cent luxury tax
they have paid on purchases. The
newspapers say the government is
giving away hundreds of thousands
of francs in th-is way which right
fully belong to the country.
Americans have read these pro
tests with not a little surprise. Many
who have tried to get back the .total
cf their luxury tax, have discovered
the difficulties are many. The first
and most essential demand of the
government officials at the port of
embarkation is that all receipts of
purchases must be presented. Luxury
tax. concerns women almost entlrely
and most of them forget or loss these
receipts.
Those who know of this demand
are comparatively few, so the luxury
tax. so far as most homeward bound
Americans are concerned, usually re
mains in France. .

HEIFETZ' RETURN TO NEW
YORK IS NOTABLE EVENT
Mine. Jeritza Makes Instantaneous Success on Debut and Contributes
Memorably to Popularity of Season.
BY, EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK. Dec. Sl.-(SpeciaI.)
Among other affairs of great
interest during the week, the
return of-Jascha Helfetz to the New
York platform and the presence of
Chaliapine again at the Metropolitan,
as also the first performance of "The
Valkyrie," with Madame Jeritza as
Sieglinde and Margaret Matzenauer
as Brunhilde, with our- own Jeanne
Gordon as Fricka, and that supreme
artiBt. Clarence Wnltehill. as Wotan.
made a memorable period in the sea
son just passing into Its second half.
Madame Jeritza probably Is the
most Important contribution to that
portion of the season as the Instan
taneous success made upon her debut
nas not oeen cnanged In any par--
Kcular, but rather she has grown
more of a favorite, until the crown
ing point of this, as yet, short career
was reached when she appeared as
Sieglinde, a lovely poetlo rols for
which by figure, face and vocal skill
she is superbly endowed. It was en
joyable to hear again the beautiful
music with which this work abounds
and perhaps it Is less disturbing to
hear it as it was written than in
translations which .never turn to
reach the pinnacle of what they
should be.
It would be too much to -say that
the performance effaced any memories
of days in which New York might,
with reason, boast of tne greatest
Wagnerla"n production given anywhere
in the world, not excepting Bayreuth.
The performance was the first of this
opera given since March, 1917, when
then, as now, Clarence Whltehlll sang
Wotan and Madame Matzenauer was
beard as Fricka.
Since then Madame Matzenauer has
arrived to greater heights and it
would seem as though there were
nothing she might not accomplish
with that luscious, brilliant vol
which has never seemed mors beau
tiful than upon this occasion, while
the warmth and glow of life, to cay
naught of the dignity of the God
dess-Woman, made her especially fine
as contracted with the lyric splendor
of the Jeritza voice. Both women
were beautiful in the picture. Jeanne
Gordon' has already shown her wide
powers by the astonishing Brangaene
she did last week as contrasted with
the Italian roles in which she has
established her success, and, although
Fricka is not a long Tmri, it has
taxing moments Vjocally ad these she
discharged with efficiency and the
assurance of an-artlst. The Wotan
of Mr. Whltehlll Is a figure of supreme
nobility, heightened by bis imposing
size, his understanding of pose and
poise and his skill In everything that
tradition requires of one whose earlier
successes were laid in the heart of
theSe-traditlons In Bayreuth. With
the Siegmund of Mr. Sembach New
York operagoers are familiar, while
the Hunding of William Gustafson
was that of one unfamiliar with the
exigencies of the role, but with vast
possibilities and a vo.ice sufficiently
fine to warrant patience. There was
a new., set of "Valkyries" in Madames
Sundellus, Tiffany, Mellish, Delaunols,
Perini, Telva, Wakefield and Howard.
Mr. Bodansky, who was assisted in the
preparation by Samuel Thewman, con
trolled his forces and held them to
gether with a firm hand.
s
"Zaza" kept all opera glasses busy
and it was declared that Geraldine
Farrar had modified no particular of
the sflret act, which at this late date
requires no comment, now that An
thony Comstock is no more and his
principles are -forgotten. Otherwise
Miss Farrar gave a thrilling perform
ance and one in which her excellent
singing contributed much to her suc-
cess. Martlnelly was an impressive
lover and an eternally beautiful
singer while De Luca, as the old
actor-friend, gave as ever one of bis
warm-toned impersonations which
have stamped him and which keep
him in a class entirely by himself.
Kathleen Howard repeated her excel
lent characterization of the mother
and Cecil Arden, who appeared as the
wife, was appealing not only to the
eye, but vocally. Others in the cast
were: Madames Bada, Ananian, Picco,
D'Angelo and Lurenti, Misses Schaaf
and Egener. Mr. Moranzonl was the
conductor. -

OREGON FRUITS VALUABLE
IN BUILDING HUMAN SYSTEM
-,..-. - ... .. . .
Growers Should Boostfor Health-Giving Properties and" Encourage
Greater Consumption, Says Dr. J. M. Powell.
BY J. M. POWELL. M. D.
THE therapeutic and food values
of our Oregon fruits are not
as well known and appreciated
as they should be not even by our
growers, who should be able to In
telligently take first hand In boost
ing for health-giving properties and
universal consumption. It is an old
lesson In physiology that you may
feed a. duck on butter alone until it
will get too fat to live, and die from
inanition, L e., lack of. proper nutri
tion. '
A variety of foods is as essential
to health of body and mind as it is
to efficiency of body and mind. The
great medicinal properties of our na
tive Cascara as contained in the
new cambium layer of the bark are
known and used all over the world.
Our fruits, which are none the less
essential to the hiKhest state of hu
man development and efficiency, have
a two-fold value.
Cereals and legumes ccntaln much
phosphate of lime and protein essen
tial elements it food as bone and
tissue builders but are -better di
gested and assimilated by the acids
and various elements In many of our
fruits. The carbohydrates fats and
sugars, our heat producers require
the fruit acids as nerve stimulants
and builders If any cbnsiderable
quantity is to be digested and assimi
lated. The growing periods of the human
race require a great quantity of the
body builders, hence the Importance
of fruits, as well as whole wheat
bread, beans, etc., while In the adult
period and declining years of man
the acids are likewise essential to
maintain natural activity of both
bodv and mind, prevent arterio-scle-
Tosls, -prolong youth and defer old
age, and therefore Increase longevity.
Fruits Aid Hiaai System.
Yet some uninformed persons will
pretend that fruits are not essential
foods. The value of foods In the
human economy is not determined by
calories alone, but in the various
vitamines of both the animal and
vegetable kingdoms.
The TIealthf ulness of the well-matured
apple while in prime condition
has long been known. It is a laxa
tive, and the fresh sterilized cider
has a beneficial effect upon the kid
neys, often relieving chronic "Vum

ness. Cherries contain tannin and
should 'be thoroughly ripe before be

again in the titular part, filled the
Metropolitan to its last Inch and the
excitement which prevailed was equal
ly Impressive. The great Russian has
proved a mighty drawing power and
has brok&a into the regular trend of
affairs with startling force. Madame
Matzenauer sang the part of Marina
and there were other changes, such
as Fertile in the part of Dlmitri and
Mardones as Plmenn. Mr. Papl was
the conductor.
"The Barber of Seville. sung for
the benefit of the Greenwich Music
Settlement school, had a huge dlsap
polntment for those who entered the
opera house, but when De Luca was
Announced to sing his inimitable role
of Figaro the disappointment of not
hearing Ruffo as announced lost some
of its sting. De Luca is one of those
rare artists whose every rols l de
clared to be his best, but In what
particular he could surpass his own
Figaro would be difficult to state.
The cast was further interesting
because it held the first performance
of Almavlva by Mario Chamlee, who
has taken his place among the favor
ites and who greatly strengthened
It by the sterling qualities of his
singing and acting of this "Leggiero
Tenore" role. He has gained remark
able flexibility for one of the lyric
and dramatic possibilities of bis
voice and the agility with which he
dashed around the mischievous mo
ments of the young count mads his
admirers realize " his histrionic
growth. He sang with brilliant
beauty of tone and was the recipient
of many tributes.
Nina Morgana was cast for Roslna
and in many particulars showed a
growth of powers, a greater steadi
ness of vocal equipment and less con
straint on the stage. Especially fine
was her singing of the waltz song
from Gounod's "Mifellle" done in the
lesson scene. The Don Baslllo of
Mardones was one of the finest bits
of the afternoon, both vocally and
In impersonation. Mme. Berat and
Mr. Malatesta completed a cast made
up of -excellent principals in support
to the rarest Figaro of today s stage.
Storms of applause greeted De Luca's
Largo al factotum." and for a time
It seemed as though he would have
to repeat It notwithstanding Metro
politan rules. Mr. Papl infused humor
and vivacity Into the performance.
"L'Oracolo" for Its first perform
ance this season broughtut all the
ScottI enthusiasts that could De
crowded into the Metropolitan. For
those to whom great acting still holds
what it did formerly It is a foregone
conclusion that the Chinaman of
Scotti and the old Oracle of Didur
are rare masterpieces and have made
and Continue to make of the lurid
little music-drama of Leonl one of
the most attractive of the smaller
numbers in the Metropolitan reper
tory. Scotti was at his towering best
in all that craft and cunnning can
Imply while no exaggerations have
crept In to mar the perfection of his
art. Florence Easton, Orville Har
rold. Myrtle Schaaf. Mm. Audlslo and
Picco were in the cast and Mr.
Moranzonl conducted. With "L'Ora
colo" was coupled "La Navarraise,"
wtiich had its second performance
with Morgan Kingston, a most ex
cellent artist in the part of the lover.
His singing and that of Miss Farrar
lent much distinction to the fervid
little Massenet opera whose destiny
lay safely within the hands of Al
bert Wolff.
Mr. Rothier's part is always a de
light in whatever he may be cast, and
In "La Navarrajse" he Is especially
adapted to all that can be expected
of a French artist in music and .text
of his own country. Mr. Kingston,
too, deserves credit for the fine qual
ities he brought to the French role.
He Is one of the finest artists of
the company and is equipped in all
the languages.
"Mefistofele," with Frances Alda
back in her accustomed place as
Marguerite and her support of GIgli,
Didur, Mmes. Easton, Howard and
Perini, was the occasion for another
large audience and a second one pro
claimed -its pleasure over the old

excellent cast included Francesca

Oregon Bar Pays Tribute to
Justice Benson.
Dead Supreme) Court Jurist Gets
High Praise for Service.
riALEM, Or.. Dec. 31. (Special.)
O Members of the Oregon State Bar
association, at exercises held here last
Tuesday, In the hearing room of the
supreme court, paid tribute to the
memory of Henry L. Benson, who died
at his home In Salem a few weeks
ago. Justice Benson was a "member
of the co.urt at the time of his death,
and had a wide acquaintanceship
throughout the state.
Resolutions of -the bar association
were presented by a committee com
posed of Wallace McCamant, A. C.
Emmons., Gus Newbury, P. J. Gal
lagher and C. F. Stone.
Thomas A. McBride, justice of the
supreme court, in an address said, in
part:
"It was my privilege to have known
-our departed brother since 1880, when
he came into this state and took up
the vocation of teacher in Douglas
county. In every vocation, and in
every relation of life, both as con
cerned himself, the public, his family
and his friends. Judge Benson acquit
ted himself as a true man.
"I knew him best as a Judge, and
his prominent trait in that capacity
was -loyalty to the law. He was
never disposed to sacrifice that upon
the altar of expediency or frleiwlship.
Kindly in disposition and warm in his
friendships, he never allowed any per
sonal consideration to Influence his
attitude in considering the law of a
case which he had under considera
tion. He brought to his aid as a
Judge, a mind singularly free from
prejudice; a wide knowledge of the
law, and a robust sense ol justice sea
soned by long experience at the bar
and upon, the bench, and his opinions
will live and he quoted with appro
bation when we who still survive him
here shall have yielded to the com
mon lot of frail mortality."
Chief Justice Burnett, In his eulogy,
said in part:
"Henry L. Benson was a genuine
gentleman, a sound lawyer, and an
honest man. His urbanity was not
the mere external polish of the fop.
Its source was in his kindness of
heart, the actuating force of all true
politeness. His Intercourse with those
about him, especially with his Judicial
